Install a Citrix ADC VPX instance on Azure VMware Solution
Azure VMware Solution (AVS) provides you with private clouds that contain vSphere clusters, built from dedicated bare-metal Azure infrastructure. The minimum initial deployment is three hosts, but additional hosts can be added one at a time, up to a maximum of 16 hosts per cluster. All provisioned private clouds have vCenter Server, vSAN, vSphere, and NSX-T.
The VMware Cloud (VMC) on Azure enables you to create cloud software-defined data centers (SDDC) on Azure with the number of ESX hosts that you want. The VMC on Azure supports Citrix ADC VPX deployments. VMC provides a user interface same as on-prem vCenter. It functions similar to the ESX-based Citrix ADC VPX deployments.
The following diagram shows the Azure VMware solution on the Azure public cloud that an administrator or a client can access over the internet. An administrator can create, manage, and configure workload or server VMs using Azure VMware solution. The admin can access the AVS’s web-based vCenter and NSX-T Manager from a Windows Jumpbox. You can create the Citrix ADC VPX instances (standalone or high availability pair) and server VMs within Azure VMware Solution using vCenter, and manage the corresponding networking using NSX-T manager. The Citrix ADC VPX instance on AVS works similar to the on-prem VMware cluster of hosts. AVS is managed from a Windows Jumpbox that is created in the same virtual network.
A client can only access the AVS service by connecting to the VIP of ADC. Another Citrix ADC VPX instance outside Azure VMware Solution but in the same Azure virtual network helps add the VIP of the Citrix ADC VPX instance within Azure VMware Solution as a service. As per requirement, you can configure the Citrix ADC VPX instance to provide service over the internet.

- Gateway subnet is used to express route the connection with private cloud.
- Click Review + Create.
-
Review the settings. If you must change any settings, click Previous.
-
Click Create. Private cloud provisioning process starts. It can take up to two hours for the private cloud to be provisioned.
-
Click Go to resource, to verify the private cloud that is created.
Note
To access this resource, you need a VM in Windows that acts as a Jump box.
Connect to an Azure virtual machine running Windows
This procedure shows you how to use the Azure portal to deploy a virtual machine (VM) in Azure that runs Windows Server 2019. To see your VM in action, you then RDP to the VM and install the IIS web server.
To access the private cloud that you have created, you need to create a Windows Jump box within the same virtual network.
